Last fall, while living in Florida, I was on the search for some Pumpkin Ales for a halloween party I was throwing. I searched everywhere I could trying as many as 10 different Pumpkins Ales. The Punk by Dogfish Head may not only be one of my favorite Pumpkins Ales, but one of my favorite seasonal beers I've ever had. 2 thumbs way up.

I'd buy this in March, or July, or whenever I could.

A must try.

From my Untappd history. Poured at The Yard House in Yonkers.

A: Kind of a muted brown hue mixed with amber. Off-white head. You would think the beer would be opaque, but this one was rather clear.

S: You're immediately hit with the spice blend - I think cinnamon and allspice. Don't think there's any nutmeg in there. The pumpkin fruit they use is crazy good though because it comes through without being too sweet or overpowered by the spices.

T: This always reminds me of the fall and I also use it to benchmark other pumpkin beers. The alcohol comes through even though it's 7%, but it's a pleasant flavor. The malts work with the organic pumpkins extremely well.

M: Great feeling on the palette and even better finish. I crave cider doughnuts and a campfire immediately after swallowing.

O: This is my quintessential pumpkin/fall beer. It's the perfect mix of fruit and spices.

Serving type: on-tap
